Also whoever came up with the "tentative" option in #Outlook? Straight to jail. 😤

It's giving "I might come to your meeting, but I want to keep my options open in case a cooler meeting comes by." 😒

@Gina It's not specific to Outlook; it's in the iCal spec.

I use it to say "I see that you want to book me for a meeting. I acknowledge receipt on the invite and will keep the slot open in my calendar. If I don't have a detailed agenda 24 hours prior to the meeting, I will decline."

@xahteiwi @Gina
I think they originally copied it from Lotus Notes/Domino, where it was even labelled the same way: "Tentatively accept".
